Error: "Enable Auto Login has not been applied"

Yes you should have this file in order to use auto login.
Create it with:

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Paste this in leafpad.

Code:

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=username
autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-session=lightdm-autologin
greeter-session=lightdm-webkit-greeter
user-session=xfce

You just need to change this line autologin-user=username
Change username to the user name you whish to use to auto login.
This command prtints your current user name:

Code:

echo $USER

For example: If the output of this command is wirezfree

Code:

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=wirezfree
autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-session=lightdm-autologin
greeter-session=lightdm-webkit-greeter
user-session=xfce

Thank you both of you, for posting the issue and the answer. I had exactly the same oriblem and missing folder (out of fresh install) and Misko's instructions did the job.

Kind regards,
Ioanna
